#5 Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant It had been nomination after nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio, and yet nothing had come of it. So when 2016 came around, we all wondered, could this be his year? DiCaprio’s beautiful performance in The Revenant will go down as simply incredible. The whole film barely stars anyone else except for…

Love with the Proper Stranger This is such an underrated film, in my opinion. Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood are dynamic as a couple who have a one-night stand, only to be surprised with a pregnancy. This film has one of my favorite scenes that shows a character does not have to say every emotion…

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. It reminds us of places or people we have met in our lives. But in relation to films, I find myself filled with nostalgia as I reminisce about the first few movies that I ever saw (or at least remember seeing). My family didn’t go to the movies much, so…

I’m anticipating a good year for movies next year. However, do people ever say, “oh, next year is going to be a bad year for movies. In order to make this easier for me, I’m breaking down the year into Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. I won’t be doing my opinions on each film, but hopefully you…

In celebration of Christmas, here is a list of my Top 5 Christmas Movies! This will not include Christmas specials, dramatic or horror films that were released during the Christmas season, or Hallmark movies. This list became very nostalgic for me. It’s hard for it not to be. Anyway, with that, let’s take a look…

Sometimes, even when you’re older, it’s nice to go back to your childhood. There were many honorable mentions in this category. But to be honest, there are just too many good kids’ movies. 5.
